The Golden State Warriors attempted to turn LeBron James into more of a scorer than a distributor in Game 1.

Ron Adams is in charge with creating the Warriors' defensive scheme against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"You have to be quite eclectic in your approach, I think," Adams said. "I think our team understands that. LeBron is so intelligent in his play that he adjusts to things -- he's seen everything -- and so we have to do the same in our own way without deviating from the script that we think can win for us. It's never one thing."

 

Adams also insists it's not as simple as "letting" LeBron get his points.

"I don't think you're going to stop him from scoring points, but 44 is a lot of points," Adams said. "I don't know if there's a magic number. But we kind of look at it like this: We thought we defended him much of the time quite well. He made some tough shots. Other times, we made him miss, I think. But that's one part of it. We'd like to do a better job on him. We know we're going to see a lot of isos from him, but we also want to take away some of the other things they do well."
